INMO to resume work-to-rule in Drogheda

Members of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda will resume industrial action today.

It's part of their campaign for what the union calls "safe staffing levels" in medical and surgical wards.

Further proposals were put forward following the intervention of the Workplace Relations Commission, however, the proposals were overwhelmingly rejected by INMO members as being insufficient to address this crisis.

The INMO wants the immediate closure of a number of beds in order to allow safe and appropriate levels of care to be given to patients.
